Double-deck bridges

The PRR's Fort Wayne Bridge that crosses the Allegheny River in Pittsburgh was built as a two-level all-rail bridge. The upper deck tracks were used to enter the PRR's main Pittsburgh passenger station, while the lower level tracks fed into the large Smallman Street produce yards and the old PRR freight station in Pittsburgh's Point District. <br />The bridge is adjacent to Pittsburgh's convention center and the upper level is still heavily used by NS(Conrail) and Amtrak. The tracks on the lower level were taken out of service - I believe in the '70s - as the produce yards were abandoned for a redevelopment project, but the steelwork remains. <br />Jim <br />Roseau, MN
